Date::Holidays::DE
==================

This module creates a list of German holidays in a given year.

It knows about special holiday regulations for all of Germany's federal 
states and also about "semi-holidays" and religious "silent days" that 
will be treated as holidays on request.

Holidays that occur on weekends can be excluded from the generated list.

The generated list can be freely formatted using regular strftime() format
definitions.
